Product Notes

Greywacke Marlborough Riesling is a remarkable New Zealand wine, boasting an enchanting character like no other. Renowned for its striking citrus aromas, this vibrant, dry vintage presents a delicate blend of zingy lime, ripe apple and floral notes. Luring the palate, the wine delivers a subtly sweet flavour, tempered by a crisp acidity that yields a well balanced, refreshing finish. Aged in vineyards bathed in the Marlborough sunshine, the Greywacke Riesling is splendidly expressive, presenting an exotic bouquet that embodies its fruit-rich provenance. It's an exceptional choice for those seeking an evocative, tangy wine with a distinctive tone.

Tasting Notes

A highly fragrant, aromatic style, oozing the delicate perfume of lime flowers, white-fleshed nectarine, mandarin and a wild-yeast derived gunflint and lanolin-like savouriness. The palate provides a refreshing burst of anise and hints of wet stone. An invigorating off-dry style that delivers a ying-yang balance of bright, natural acidity, a subliminal touch of sweetness and finishes with mouthwatering vivacity.

About the Winery

Greywacke

Nestled within the renowned wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand, lies Greywacke Winery - a hidden gem easily overlooked by casual wine enthusiasts. Established by Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough’s first pioneering winemakers, Greywacke (pronounced "grey-wacky") is not a typical winery. It has established a stellar global reputation for its luscious, meticulously crafted wines.

The name Greywacke itself is derived from the high prevalence of greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. These stones contribute significantly to the intense flavour profile for which Greywacke’s wines are celebrated.

Amidst the picturesque landscape, Greywacke thrives on sustainable viticulture - carefully nurturing vineyards without chemical intervention, promoting biodiversity, and working in harmony with the landscape. Besides the winery, Kevin’s keen interest in photography captures the art of winemaking and the untouched beauty of the environment that nourishes Greywacke’s grapes.

Exquisite flavours and extraordinary quality characterise Greywacke’s portfolio. Specialising in Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, they also produce remarkable Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and late harvest wines. Their Sauvignon Blanc boasts a benchmark style, with its multidimensional richness, vibrant acidity, and lingering finish. It's an epitome of the regional expression. Whereas, the Greywacke Pinot Noir, presents a complex array of ripe fruit flavours balanced with delicate tannins and a touch of savouriness.

Undeniably, Greywacke is a boutique winery where an appreciation for terroir-based craftsmanship is fostered. The result is a range of wines that are truly reflective of their regional typicity: intense, vibrant and richly expressive. Notably, Greywacke wines have received multiple awards and accolades, testifying their commitment to quality and sustainable practices.
